Komet Trailer gas struts by
HL Falbaum[_2_]
I have a 1983 Komet Standard glass top trailer. The gas strut(s) just went
kaput!
Anyone out there know the specifications? I'd be very appreciative of the
info.
TIA

sponsor for soaring contest. I am trying to gain support for...

Mil80C
A question to you fine soaring fraternity, what would your response be to
someone who suggested that it might be feasable to run a transponder in a
glider with a pedal generator?

Ventus 3 Performance In Perry SC by
Nick Kennedy[_3_]
I noticed the Ventus 3 took 3 of the top 5 in the 18 meter class.
Looks like to me they have come up with a very fine ship.
I haven't seen one in person yet, look forward to that day.

Club Glider Hangar? by
noel.wade
Hi All,
I'm doing some research for my local club, and one of the things I'd
like to determine is how to increase the usage of our "glass" ships
(Astir, Apis, and L-33 - yes I know the L-33 is metal). All are kept
stored in trailers. These 3 ships (all in great condition) sit in
their trailers,...

Best US Soaring Weather by
[email protected]
If you were pulling up stakes, where would one move to find:
1. The longest soaring season.
2. The best x-c conditions, on average.
The OLC would suggest Blairstown, NJ... Any other opinions, with or
without objective data?

Seems to be a common thing at contests or any other
time you are flying something different than what the
pilot is use to pulling. How about the next time it
